Raman Spectroscopy For Medical Diagnosis

Raman spectroscopy for medical diagnostics

Raman spectroscopy is based on analysis of inelastically scattered light. This technique has a wide range of uses in chemistry, solid-state physics and other fields. Raman spectroscopy can distinguish between molecules and can identify them by their characteristic spectra. In this seminar I will discuss instrumentation required for Raman spectroscopy in medical applications, followed by specifi...

Raman Spectroscopy for Cancer Diagnosis

Raman spectroscopy is a promising new tool for noninvasive, real-time diagnosis of tissue abnormalities. Here, we show evidence of its application for cancer diagnosis in four distinct tissue types: skin, breast, gastrointestinal tract, and cervix. Multivariate statistical analysis and discrimination algorithms allow for automated classification of the spectra into clinically relevant pathologi...

High Performance Method for Skin Roughness Detection Using Raman Spectroscopy

Real-time Raman spectroscopy for in vivo skin cancer diagnosis.

Raman spectroscopy is a noninvasive optical technique capable of measuring vibrational modes of biomolecules within viable tissues. In this study, we evaluated the application of an integrated real-time system of Raman spectroscopy for in vivo skin cancer diagnosis. Benign and malignant skin lesions (n = 518) from 453 patients were measured within 1 second each, including melanomas, basal cell ...

A Clinical Raman Spectroscopy System for Real - Time Disease Diagnosis

The advantages of using Raman spectroscopy for disease diagnosis have been investigated extensively in the past. Unlike conventional techniques that probe the structural and anatomical changes associated with disease, the Raman spectroscopy approach is based on detecting the molecular markers of disease progression. While in vitro studies have demonstrated the potential of Raman spectroscopy fo...
